Djokovic leads Zverev 6-1, 3-6, 1-6 Meanwhile, this has been a superb Olympics debut for Zverev, who has advanced to the gold medal match dropping just one set thus far. Djokovic will still have his chance of winning his first gold medal though, when he takes the court with Nina Stojanovic to face Russia's Aslan Karatsev and Elina Vesnina. Djokovic also committed 7 unforced errors in that final set, which was one of the reasons behind him coming undone. Djokovic was completely dominated by Zverev in the third set, and saw 12 winners punted past him by the 6'6" German. Heartbreaking stuff for Djokovic, who yet again fails to win the Olympic gold medal in men's singles. He will have to wait for Paris 2024. AND ZVEREV DOES IT!!
